On May 19, The Shul Chabad
Lubavitch held its Great
Jewish Family Festival at
Heritage Park in Farmington
Hills. It was a day filled with
community spirit, great vol-
unteers and gorgeous weather.
Attendees enjoyed pizza,
music, mini golf, a magic
show, games and more to cel-
ebrate Lag b’Omer together.
The Shul sends a special
thank you to Flagstar Bank,
DTE Energy and Mark &
Debbie Druck for enabling
this to happen with their
support and sponsorships,
and to the Friday Boys and
the Shinshinim (Israeli high
school students participating
in a six-month service pro-
gram) for creating a welcom-
ing feeling.
The day couldn’t have hap-
pened without the help from
community volunteers.
